See
http://www.gmayor.com/merge_labels_with_word_2007.htm which covers the
merge process in Word 2007.
If you put the data file in the My Data Sources folder or in the same folder
as the merge document, the document should be able to find its data source
next time.

I would value some help on mailmerge issues in Word 2007, which our
office has recently upgraded to.
We are a Christian aid organisation. One admin job is to send out
regular receipts to donors. We have several merge letters each
linked to a text file. We are used to Word 97 where the merge file
is saved with the link, and for each batch the text file is
overwritten with newly exported data. So the merged file can be
created in 2 clicks - Open and Merge.
In Word 2007, we have worked out how to open and merge the letter,
but it takes much longer, because we don't know how to save the link
to the data file. This means every time we open the letter, we have
to recreate all the merge settings from scratch.
Is this correct, or are we missing something obvious?
